Clarity the difference between esp_lvgl_port and esp_lvgl_adapter (AEGHB-1348)

[wuyuanyi135]

Hello, I have been using esp_lvgl_port for my projects. I saw esp_lvgl_adapter these days and found out it has a separate ecosystem. Can someone please clarify why there seem be two similar projects for adapting LVGL? would them get merged in the future?

esp_lvgl_port provides some basic features and supports general LVGL functionality.
However, for tear-avoidance, frame rate optimization, file system performance, and decoder acceleration, esp_lvgl_adapter is more suitable.

They will not be merged in the future, because everything that esp_lvgl_port offers will eventually be available in esp_lvgl_adapter.

@Horion0415 Thank you for the clarification. Is esp_lvgl_adapter production ready at this moment? Do you recommend phasing to this library for the new designs?

[Horion0415]

The esp_lvgl_adapter has now been released as an official version, and we recommend migrating to it.
As mentioned earlier, this component currently offers better features and performance, and the configuration is also simpler.
It is already being used by customers — in other words, this component was created precisely to meet customer needs.
